It has been quite busy lately for the INVESTA team. We are happy to announce we are testing our prepaid cards and our exchanger and ATM network will soon launch with the capability of allowing users in several LATAM countries to purchase RDD directly with the FIAT of their choosing. We congratulate the RDD team for their great work, and we are very happy to be able to spread the word of how great RDD truly is!

Thanks for the clear explanation. So, the conversion is done explicitly by the user. The bad part is one more step, and the good part is the user gets to choose the moment to convert (for better rates). It's great to have a debit card anyways. :)

Just a suggestion: I understand that currently Reddcoin and INVESTA_Corp are in an initial stage, and perhaps nothing more can be announced. However, as soon as the partnership is decided (or your acceptance of RDD is certain), making official announcement may be a great help to both RDD and (the Pre-ICO of) INV. Perhaps adding RDD on your landing website.

The reason is that, although pump and dump is not my favorite way, it is the major way in which the current crypto world operates. INVESTA_Corp's official recognition of RDD will give a very good reason for the price raise of RDD. If RDD's pricce is raised, many RDD holders are more than willing to invest INV, because many of them have no spare fund to invest, and will sell RDD if the price is ok.

Such a situation has been observed in the case of LWF-RDD partnership. When LWF-RDD partnership was announced, the price of RDD went high. More than 12M RDD has been put into LWF ICO. If I remember correctly, the USD price for RDD at that time is around 2.5 cents. Hence, it's about 300,000USD. (Ok, after calculating this, perhaps you don't think this amount is much. :p)

Yes, we have been extremely busy working in the launch so we haven't had the time to inform better. Allow me to tell you that we have started RDD implementation during our ICO. SO people can purchase INV with RDD to hold and then sell if they wanted. in a couple of weeks should be up.

We are moving forward and we are giving RDD support to our CARD system. The reason why we announced an exploratory Partnership was to gauge the response of the community since we have to commit money and time to develop each currency. And we like what we have seen so far. So we decided to move forward. We want big communities that are behind their coins. So it seems we chose right by talking to the RDD team. Hopefully we can develop more products with RDD within our Ecosystem.

And lastly yes the moment of exchange is decided by the user. RHA is not something we can offer at this time, but we would certainly work towards that goal but mainly that is a direct effect of rdd demand for it. (Considerable resources are required for RHA for a single Currency).

https://youtu.be/OjNHvTDuh58 Well there you go, The Exchange is almost ready. You can see the features on the test server. We are finalizing the Pay to CARD modules as well as accepting local FIAT for LATAM.

It is a matter of days for people all over to purchase RDD, LCC, BTC, NEM, LTC, and ETH with their local currency and get into the world of crypto.

New exciting announcements and partnerships happening as well next week.

No, sorry incorrect. INVESTA is trying to develop a number of products and services. Some of which are actually ready for testing and are happening this month. When you start the conversation with a word such as "SCAM" without any evidence whatsoever, then it becomes a slanderous comment. One thing is to claim it is an opinion, another is to try to pass subjective views as facts.

Nobody has to purchase our products, nor our services. If you don't want a card, don't request it. if you don't like the website design, don't invest in it. It is as simple as that. We are doing something not other ICO's does which is to deliver products before the ICO closes (and well before the ROADMAP dates). We are working hard to make this happen because we believe that the best way to raise money is not by spending 250k in marketing like everybody else. It Is by spending in actual products that users can use.

If people are so interested in finding out more, then simply go to the weekly webinar that the CEO offers. Where you can log in and ask any question you want directly. Or if you missed the weekly webinar you can always ask in the Telegram Group.

Blockchain technology is the water from which all future businesses will feed and grow. Business leaders must embrace the blockchain, or they risk dying out like the railroads and the cotton mills of the last commercial revolution. The time is now to sieze the initiative and take your business into the digital era by recording all transactions to a blockchain ledger. From front office sales and trading, to back office accounts and reporting all the processes of a commercial organisation can be committed to blockchain. This will lead to autonomy, transparency, instant auditability and fluidity across the whole enterprise.

Most people are beginning to wake up the the phenomenon of Bitcoin, as the price has risen consistently over the last 5 years. But what most of these new converts dont yet realise is that there is also a growing ecosystem of incredible financial innovation, that is being built in layers upon the blockchain foundations.

This freedom to experiment and innovate is essential to allow the fledgling projects to build and spread like a coral reef into a diverse collection of niche adapted organisations, who all co-exist in a semi-utopian collective. Each has their own goals and aspirations, to make money, help the world, or just show off their ingenuity. Bravo to my fellow innovators of the new world!

Amongst many uses companies and entrepreneurs alike give to Blockchain Technology, one that we at INVESTA are committed to bring to fruition is the expensive remittance services in the Latin American Region.

This affects a special part of the population comprised of migrants spread around the American continent. The remittances sent on 2015 rose to the highest level in at least 15 years. This brought a total amount of $68.3 billion that migrants transferred higher than a pre-recession peak of $64.5 billion in 2008.

“Family remittances to 17 Latin American Countries grew over 8% from 2016 to 2017, reaching Over $75Billion. This increase far exceeds the World’s Bank forecasted 1.2% economic growth for the entire region. In terms of Scale, remittance growth has been nearly as large as export growth 9% in 2017” (Manuel Orozco-2017 -The Dialogue Leadership for the Americas).

Using the potential sanctions and higher risk associated with abusing the banking system for money laundering major international banks continue to pose a major challenge to the provision of remittance services. Complaining that remittance transactions are prone to the risk of money laundering and other financial crimes, banks have been closing the correspondent banking accounts of many money-transfer operators (MTOs). Remittance service providers and banks need not only to apply “know-your-customer” (KYC) regulations, they also need to know their customer’s customer. According to the World Bank’s survey on this phenomenon in the G20 countries, MTO account closures by banks was widespread. This situation has continued this year, in which banks are closing the bank accounts of MTOs. A risk-based approach is what the Guidance on financial inclusion of the Financial Access Task Force (FATF) recommends when dealing with AML/CFT systems. Nevertheless, several financial institutions do not want to take any risk and prefer to close the accounts of money transfer operators (MTOs).

To add to this issue, a great amount of remittance users are, in the most part, either unbanked or underbanked with little to no banking services provided to them due to their legal situation in their respective countries. this forces people to incur in additional expenses in the form of fees that certain MTOs offer which are in many cases higher than a regular international bank to bank wire transfer.

As a simple example a Venezuelan migrant in Chile, that had to flee his country looking for better opportunities. Has absolutely no banking services available to him for the first year until he can successfully apply for a visa, and even then the banking services he can obtain are quite limited for the next 5 years until he can get full residency. During that time this Venezuelan worker would have only the alternative to use one of the many MTOs. Which for their service will charge a fee that ranges from 5% all the way to 18% if we factor the spread difference of the exchange rate. The establishment of Blockchain digital payment systems for remittances instead of using regular cash MTOs for these types of transactions are of enormous benefit to the poor in developing countries. Through its ITM Network in conjunction with its proprietary REALM Platform INVESTA is setting a network across the region and some European countries which provide transparency, safety and reliability safeguards. interoperability of bank and nonbank financial service providers so different types of systems work with each other, adequate physical infrastructure to offer digital payments, availability of cash-out points, stability of prices, and sequencing in the adoption of digital payments and mobile money.

Several attempts to solve most of the issues have been approached by different companies from many sectors of the industry. Most of them with innovative solutions, others in conjunction with banking related products. But what INVESTA proposes is to solve this issue taking what already works and making it better, faster, easier and above all safer. All with the use of our Inter Numerical Valuechain. (INV) as the vehicle for transparency, security and efficiency.

At INVESTA our vision is of a future where Blockchain technology will provide Advancement and well being through technology.
